Home Warranty

A home warranty is an optional service contract that covers repair or replacement of major systems and appliances after closing. In the Raleigh NC market, sellers who offer one typically pay $300 to $600 for a one-year transferable plan. Whether it makes sense depends on your home’s age, condition, and where you are in negotiations. It can be a smart, low-cost way to give buyers confidence, but it is not always the right move, and it never replaces the disclosure obligations you have as a seller under NC law.
